Phillip
Christensen
Birgitte's husband, professor at Copenhagen Business School
Birgitte's seemingly perfect spouse put his business career on hold so she could reach her political aspirations. They made an agreement to take five-year turns focusing on each of their professional lives. As his wife's career soars, he grows restless with his stagnant job ... and stagnant sex life.
Portrayed by: Mikael Birkkjær
Prime Minister, Moderate Party Leader. Phillip evolves from doting husband to disgusting pig in a matter of a year. Forced to give up his shares in an energy company and quit his dream job at a tech company that both stand to profit from his wife's policies, he grows resentful of her demands and lack of attentiveness and cheats on her.
Birgitte and Phillip's daughter. Both of his children have a stronger relationship with him -- the primary caregiver in the Christensen household -- than Birgitte.
Birgitte and Phillip's son. Laura and Magnus have a stronger bond with their dad, but Magnus still clings to Birgitte more often than Phil when he's upset.
